Several years ago, I was given the opportunity to teach on how Mother Teresa’s life exhibited spiritual maturity, and it afforded the opportunity to explore the meaning of her long “dark night”. It was a privilege for me, and this talk became something of my personal thank you to her for her faithfulness and her impact on me. She was a remarkable soul, and there is so much to learn from her about the depths and truths of the Christian life. It was originally given at The Falls Church.
